Description

  The present invention relates to a terminal device, a server device, a distribution method, and a distribution program in a content information distribution system.

  In recent years, with the increase in mobile applications that cooperate with the cloud, the use of push notification, which is a notification method for transmitting information at a distributor's opportunity, has increased. For example, in a timeline update notification or the like in SNS (Social Network Service), the distributor server (push server) push-notifies timeline update information and the like to the mobile terminal that is the notification destination. In response to this notification, the mobile terminal accesses the cloud server and confirms the update data.

  As a push technology for a mobile terminal, there is a service that performs push notification to the mobile terminal in cooperation with a mobile terminal OS (Operating System). For example, there is GCM (Google (registered trademark) Cloud Messaging) shown in Non-Patent Document 1, and APNS (Apple (registered trademark) Push Notification Service) shown in Non-Patent Document 2. These push distribution systems are provided free of charge, and by using these, the information distributor can perform push notification to a predetermined mobile terminal.

  Further, in Patent Document 1, a push distribution that allows a push terminal to grasp a user's state by the mobile terminal sequentially transmitting the presence information of the user to the push server and to provide information according to the state. A system has been proposed.

Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a push delivery system 1 according to the present embodiment.

  The push distribution system 1 receives a notification message from the push server 10 that transmits the notification message to the distribution destination after creating the notification message, and controls display timing according to attribute information (output condition information) of the notification message 1 One or more mobile terminals 20 and an IP network 30 are included.

The push server 10 is an information processing apparatus (computer) provided by a notification message distributor.
The mobile terminal 20 is a portable small terminal having a display function and a communication function, and is a computer having a display for displaying an image.

  The IP network 30 is a wired or wireless transmission path for information transmitted from various information processing apparatuses. The IP network 30 may include, for example, a public line network such as the Internet or a satellite communication network, or various LANs (Local Area Network) including the Ethernet (registered trademark) or WAN (Wide Area Network). The IP network 30 may include a dedicated line network such as an IP-VPN (Internet Protocol-Virtual Private Network).

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the push server 10 according to the present embodiment.
The push server 10 includes a message generation unit 11 that generates a notification message, and a message distribution unit 12 that transmits the notification message to a predetermined target mobile terminal.

The message generation unit 11 includes a content generation unit 111, an attribute assignment unit 112, and a combination unit 113.
The content generation unit 111 generates content information including text or an image that is the content of the notification message. The content generation unit 111 provides the user of the push server 10 with an input / output interface for designating or editing text and images to be displayed on the mobile terminal 20, for example.

The attribute assigning unit 112 assigns attribute information associated with the content information. The attribute information is given as an ID for uniquely identifying the classification of the notification message when the notification message can be classified according to usage. The attribute information when the notification message is classified according to usage is shown below.
A) Message for communication B) Advertisement (coupon)
C) Attracting actions (ToDo)
D) News E) Software Update

  In the above example, the attribute information is A to E symbol information that divides each notification message. The attribute information is not limited to symbol information, and may be character string information as long as the notification message can be uniquely classified. For example, in the above example, the use application itself may be regarded as a label and used as attribute information.

  The combining unit 113 combines the content information and the attribute information to create a notification message. For example, the combining unit 113 executes a process of combining different content information with common attribute information or a process of combining common content information with different attribute information. At this time, a one-to-one combination of content information and attribute information is referred to as a notification message in this embodiment.

The message delivery unit 12 includes a communication unit 121, a destination storage unit 122, and an application storage unit 123.
The communication unit 121 transmits one or more reachable network addresses to the notification message received from the message generation unit 11, and transmits the notification message to the mobile terminal 20 to be distributed via the IP network 30. The network address is, for example, an IP address.

  The destination storage unit 122 manages a network address and an ID that uniquely identifies the mobile terminal 20 in association with each other. Here, an ID that can uniquely identify the mobile terminal 20 is referred to as a terminal ID. For example, the terminal ID is a telephone number, a MAC address, an IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), or the like. In addition, terminal ID is not restricted to these, What is necessary is just a form which can identify the mobile terminal 20 uniquely.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a destination table stored in the destination storage unit 122 according to the present embodiment.
In this example, an IP address is used as a network address, and a telephone number is used as an ID for uniquely identifying the mobile terminal 20. The destination storage unit 122 provides an IP address using a telephone number as a key, and enables the communication unit 121 to transmit a notification message to the mobile terminal 20 using the telephone number.

  The application storage unit 123 manages a network address and an ID that uniquely identifies an application running on the mobile terminal 20. Here, an ID that can uniquely identify an application is referred to as an application ID. The application ID is, for example, a Registration ID in Google (registered trademark) service. The application ID is not limited to this, and may be any form that can uniquely identify the application on the mobile terminal 20.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an application table stored in the application storage unit 123 according to the present embodiment.
In this example, an IP address is used as a network address, and a character string made up of alphanumeric characters and symbols is used as an ID for uniquely identifying an application. The application storage unit 123 provides an IP address using the application ID as a key, and enables the communication unit 121 to transmit a notification message to the mobile terminal 20 using the application ID.

FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram illustrating a process in which the push server 10 according to the present embodiment distributes a notification message.
This process is executed by passing the notification message created by the message generation unit 11 to the message distribution unit 12, and the message distribution unit 12 transmitting the notification message to the mobile terminal 20.

  In step S <b> 1, the content generation unit 111 receives text input or image selection from the input / output interface, sets the text and image that are the contents of the notification message, and generates content information. Then, the content generation unit 111 requests the attribute assignment unit 112 to assign an attribute.

  In step S2, the attribute assigning unit 112 selects attribute information corresponding to the content information. The attribute information may be determined after the content information distributor interprets the meaning of the content, or the attribute adding unit 112 may automatically execute a determination process including the semantic interpretation. Then, the attribute assigning unit 112 requests the combining unit 113 to generate a notification message.

Details regarding the process of determining attribute information performed by the attribute assigning unit 112 will be described below.
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating labels corresponding to attributes of content information according to the present embodiment.
In this example, the content information is divided into five attributes A to E. The attribute assigning unit 112 specifies any one of these five attributes for any notification target content.

In addition, by defining in advance information related to the output conditions in the mobile terminal 20 for these five attributes, different output conditions can be set according to the attributes of the content information.
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating labels corresponding to output conditions according to the present embodiment.
In this example, the output conditions are classified into two types, 1 and 2.

  In the attribute assigning unit 112, the attribute information (FIG. 6) in the content is associated with the output condition (FIG. 7) in advance. For example, this association is realized by an operation of associating the label of the output condition with the label of the attribute information.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating the association between attribute information and output conditions according to the present embodiment.
The attribute information is associated with a logical expression generated by the output condition. That is, when an attribute relating to content information is specified in the attribute assigning unit 112, an output condition corresponding to this attribute is indirectly determined.

FIG. 9 is a chart illustrating attribute information and output conditions in the notification message according to this embodiment.
For example, the attribute of the content information “conversation message” is classified as “A” with reference to FIG. From FIG. 8, the output condition corresponding to “A” is “1”. With reference to FIG. 7, the output condition “1” means “care about immediacy”, and thus it can be understood that the “conversation message” is “display immediately after reception”.

  Further, the attribute of the content information “coupon message” is understood to be classified as “D” with reference to FIG. Here, it can be seen from FIG. 8 that the output condition corresponding to “D” is “1 OR 2”. The output condition “1 OR 2”, referring to FIG. 7, means “care about immediacy or prioritize being noticed”, so the “coupon message” is noticed immediately after reception or It is understood that “display at timing”.

  In step S3, the combining unit 113 combines content information and attribute information. Here, “join” means that specific content and attribute information are linked and merged on the data format. A combination of these content information and attribute information is called a notification message. Then, the combining unit 113 requests the communication unit 121 to transmit a notification message.

  In step S4, the communication unit 121 associates the notification message with the destination mobile terminal 20. This association is performed by associating a terminal ID or application ID with the notification message. The communication unit 121 requests the destination of the notification message from the destination storage unit 122 or the application storage unit 123.

  In step S <b> 5, the terminal ID or application ID is converted into a network reachable IP address via the destination storage unit 122 or the application storage unit 123, and is returned to the communication unit 121.

  In step S <b> 6, the communication unit 121 merges the IP address and the notification message on the data format, and transmits the notification message to the mobile terminal 20.

FIG. 10 is a configuration diagram of the mobile terminal 20 according to the present embodiment.
The mobile terminal 20 includes a receiving unit 21, a history storage unit 22, a terminal state acquisition unit 23, a content storage unit 24, an output unit 25, a policy setting unit 26, and a determination unit 27.

  The receiving unit 21 has a communication function and receives a notification message distributed from the push server 10. Further, the receiving unit 21 extracts content information and attribute information from the notification message and separates them.

  The history storage unit 22 records and stores history information of notification messages distributed in the past. The history storage unit 22 provides the stored history information in response to a history information acquisition request. The history information is not limited to information related to the notification message, but also includes operation information related to the state of the mobile terminal 20.

  The terminal state acquisition unit 23 has a function of acquiring operation information for the mobile terminal 20 at a constant period. For example, the operation information includes the time when the main button was most recently pressed, the time when a specific application was moved, and the like. Further, the operation information may include position information or acceleration information.

  The content storage unit 24 stores notification messages received in the past that have not been output at the time of reception because the immediacy is determined to be low. In addition, a stored notification message is provided in response to a notification message acquisition request. The determination unit 27 determines whether or not some notification messages with low immediacy are output in accordance with the timing at which another notification message arrives after being stored in the content storage unit 24.

  The output unit 25 includes a speaker that outputs sound or a display that displays text and images. The output unit 25 processes the acquired content information based on a predetermined method, and then outputs it to a display or the like. Various forms of output, such as a method of displaying in a dialog format or a method of displaying in a banner format, can be considered, but the content is not limited to a specific format as long as the contents of the content are output.

  The policy setting unit 26 adjusts the attribute policy determined by the transmission-side push server 10. Here, the attribute policy means a policy table in which attribute information and output conditions shown in FIG. 8 are associated with each other.

  A policy table (FIG. 8) in which attribute information and output conditions are associated is shared between the notification message transmission side and the reception side, so that the transmission side attribute policy can be reflected on the reception side. As a result, a message can be notified at a timing desired by the transmission side. However, if the receiving side always follows the policy of the transmitting side, for example, when the transmitting side sets a high priority for all notification messages, there is a possibility that the convenience for the user may be reduced. Therefore, the policy setting unit 26 has a new table, and the output condition associated with the attribute information may be indirectly changed by referring to this table. Thereby, since the mobile terminal 20 can adjust a policy in consideration of the policy of the push server 10, the convenience of both is improved.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a policy table referred to on each of the transmission side (push server 10) and the reception side (mobile terminal 20) of the notification message according to the present embodiment.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, it is assumed that an output condition is associated with predetermined attribute information on the transmission side. At this time, it is assumed that the receiving side considers that the output condition for the attribute information D and E is “I want to give priority only to immediacy”. In this case, the policy setting unit 26 newly creates the policy table of FIG. 11B finely adjusted so that “2” is ignored regarding the output conditions for the attribute information D and E.
Thereby, the determination unit 27 controls the attribute information D and E to “display immediately after reception” by referring to the newly created policy table when confirming the output condition.

The determination unit 27 determines the immediacy of the content based on the attribute information, and selects the timing for outputting the content information. If the determination unit 27 determines that the immediacy of the content is high from the output condition associated with the attribute information, the determination unit 27 delivers the content information to the output unit 25. On the other hand, if the determination unit 27 determines that the immediacy of the content is low, the content information is transferred to the content storage unit 24.
In addition, the determination unit 27 makes a content acquisition request to the content storage unit 24 in accordance with the timing when another new notification message arrives, and selects an output timing for content information stored in the content storage unit 24 in the past. To do.

  FIG. 12 is a sequence diagram showing processing executed when a notification message is received in the mobile terminal 20 according to the present embodiment.

  In step S <b> 11, when the terminal state acquisition unit 23 acquires the terminal state of the mobile terminal 20 at a predetermined timing, the terminal state acquisition unit 23 makes a history information update request to the history storage unit 22.

  In step S12, the history storage unit 22 stores the terminal state acquired in step S11 as history information.

  In step S13, the receiving unit 21 executes notification message reception processing. After receiving the notification message, the reception unit 21 passes this notification message to the policy setting unit 26, and requests association of output conditions with attribute information.

  In step S14, the policy setting unit 26 derives an output condition from the attribute information of the notification message, passes it to the determination unit 27 together with the content information, and requests a condition determination process.

  In step S15, the determination unit 27 first requests history information for grasping the terminal state from the history storage unit 22 in order to match the output condition of the notification message with the terminal state.

  In step S <b> 16, the history storage unit 22 extracts history information according to the request and returns a response to the determination unit 27. For example, an output history of content information for a predetermined period or operation information of the mobile terminal 20 is extracted.

  In step S <b> 17, the determination unit 27 determines the state of the mobile terminal 20 using a predetermined algorithm based on the acquired history information, for example, a state in which the user is operating the mobile terminal 20 and is easily aware of the output content information. It is estimated whether it is. Thereby, the determination part 27 determines whether the output conditions in a notification message are satisfy | filled. The determination unit 27 requests the content storage unit 24 or the output unit 25 to process content information according to the determination result.

  In step S <b> 18, the content information is stored in the content storage unit 24, or the content information is output from the output unit 25. When each process ends, a process end signal is returned to the determination unit 27.

  In step S <b> 19, the determination unit 27 requests the history update to the history storage unit 22 after confirming the processing end signal of the content storage unit 24 or the output unit 25.

  In step S20, the history storage unit 22 stores the processing result of the content information as history information.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a condition determination process of the determination unit 27 when a notification message is received in the mobile terminal 20 according to the present embodiment.

  In step S <b> 21, the determination unit 27 acquires, from the history storage unit 22, history information related to previously received content information, and terminal operation information acquired periodically as history information.

  In step S <b> 22, the determination unit 27 estimates whether the state of the mobile terminal 20, i.e., the current timing, is easily noticed by the user by referring to the acquired history information.

For example, focusing on information on whether or not the user has confirmed the content information, if the most recent content information has been confirmed by the user, the current timing is likely to be noticed by the user It is estimated that.
Even if there is no content information displayed most recently, if the current time is a time zone in which a lot of content information has been confirmed by the user in the past, the current timing is easy for the user to notice. Presumed to be the situation.
In addition, for example, focusing on terminal operation information, if the main button has been operated most recently or a specific application has been operated, the current timing is estimated to be a situation where the user can easily notice the notification. The

  In step S <b> 23, the determination unit 27 determines whether it is a timing at which the user can easily notice the output content information. If this determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S24, and if the determination is NO, the process proceeds to step S25.

  In step S <b> 24, the determination unit 27 issues a content request to the content storage unit 24 and acquires accumulated content information that has not been output. The content information acquired at this time may be all accumulated content information, or, for example, according to the attribute information given to each content information, for example, the output condition “2” (recognized) Content information including a priority may be selected.

  In step S25, the determination unit 27 determines whether the received timing satisfies the output condition for the received notification message. For example, when “1” (care about immediacy) is included in the output condition of the notification message, it is determined that the output condition is satisfied. If this determination is YES, the process proceeds to step S26, and if the determination is NO, the process proceeds to step S27.

  In step S <b> 26, the determination unit 27 passes the content information of the received notification message to the output unit 25 together with the unoutput content. Accordingly, the output unit 25 processes the received content information based on a predetermined method, and then outputs the processed content information to a display or the like.

In step S27, the determination unit 27 stores the content information of the received notification message in the content storage unit 24 together with the attribute information.
At this time, the determination unit 27 may output the non-output content acquired in step S24 as satisfying the output condition.

  In step S28, the determination unit 27 updates the history information in the history storage unit 22 and ends the process. Specifically, if content information has not been output, it is described that it has not been output. If output, the fact that it has been output, the output date and time, the attribute of the output content information, and whether or not the displayed content has been confirmed during the display time are described.

  According to this embodiment, the push server 10 gives information related to attributes to the content information. In addition, the mobile terminal 20 sets an appropriate timing for output from the attribute information of the content information. Since the mobile terminal 20 adjusts the display timing, it is not necessary to manage the state of the user on the push server 10 side. In addition, since the display timing is automatically adjusted based on the history information of the mobile terminal 20, the processing load on the push server 10 is reduced, and highly convenient push notification is possible.

  When receiving a notification message that does not require immediacy, the mobile terminal 20 stores the notification message without outputting it, and determines whether or not to output it again when a new notification message is received. . As described above, the mobile terminal 20 can efficiently perform the output process of the content information that has not been output at the timing when the notification message is received.

Since the mobile terminal 20 uses the output date and time of the content information as the history information, it can determine an appropriate output timing based on the past results.
Moreover, since the mobile terminal 20 uses data indicating whether or not the content information has been confirmed by the user as the history information, it is possible to determine a more appropriate output timing based on the results confirmed by the user.
Furthermore, since the mobile terminal 20 uses the terminal state such as operation information or movement information as the history information, it is possible to determine an appropriate timing that can be effectively presented to the user.

  Since the mobile terminal 20 uses a combination of “care about immediacy” and “prioritize being noticed” as an output condition, it is easy to determine an appropriate output timing of content information based on history information it can.

  Since the mobile terminal 20 can adjust the output conditions set by the push server 10, a policy suited to the convenience of each user can be used, and convenience is improved.

Further, the effects described in the present embodiment are merely a list of the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are not limited to those described in the present embodiment.
